Why do we use choose to focus on abalone? One of the reasons are the health benefits of abalone consumption.
What is abalone?
The abalone is regarded as one of the most prized food items in Chinese culture - on par with bird's nest, shark's fin and sea cucumber. It is called "Bao Yu" in mandarin, which means definite abundance. The Chinese gift each other with Abalone during Chinese New Year to wish each other abundance of wealth in the new year.
The flavor of abalone is very similar to clams or scallops; it is naturally buttery and salty. However, the texture is much firmer, chewier and meatier. There are many ways to prepare abalone - it can be stir-fried, sautéed, steamed, grilled, pan-fried, stewed or eaten raw sashimi-style (Evans, 2019).
Old Chinese medicinal textbooks include abalone as a precious ingredient with medicinal benefits. Abalone flesh was known to be especially nourishing for the 'yin' to counter the 'yang'. Interestingly, abalone juice was also used to treat various blood diseases in ancient China too.
Indeed, abalone is not only tasty, but also an excellent source of many vital nutrients. Abalone is a great source of: Vitamin E, Vitamin B12, Iron, Magnesium and Phosporous (Two Oceans Abalone, n.d.).
Following are some benefits of abalone consumption for health:
1) Reduces heart disease risk
Abalone contains high quantity of omega 3, particularly eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which is very useful for reducing heart disease levels. These fatty acids reduces the level of blood triglycerides in humans, and thus reduces the risk of heart disease (Mohebi-Nejad & Bikdeli, 2014).
2) Cancer prevention
Based on research, results have revealed that abalone extract possesses anti-cancer properties by triggering the death of tumor cells and necrosis. It was found in a 2010 study that abalone visceral extract may stop tumor growth and promote CD8+ T cell proliferation and cytolytic function (Lee et al., 2010).
3) Boosts immune system
The omega-3 fatty acids found in abalone can improve the immune system. Research found that foods high in DHA appeared to boost activity of a white blood cell called a B call, an important part of the body's immune response (Gurzell et al., 2013).
4) Regulates thyroid function
Thyroid hormones are necessary for normal development of tissues such as the central nervous system. Abalone contains a large quantity of iodine (Doh & Park, 2018) which is important in the function of the thyroid gland. Abalone also contains copper which facilitates thyroid function by boosting hormones and improving metabolic functions.
5) Maintain liver health
Abalone is a natural liver supplement and enhances the detoxifying abilities of the liver. This is because it supports the metabolic functions of the liver. It also prevents liver damage from regular or excessive alcohol consumption.
6) Prevents joint pain
Joint health results in mobility and flexibility. Rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and injury to the joints are common diseases that lead to severe disability. Gylcosaminoglycans, which promotes healthy joints and connection tissue is found naturally in significant amounts in abalone; it also supports joint mobility and therefore reduces arthritis pain and inflammation (Suleria, 2015).
7) Keeps our bones healthy
The high amount of phosphorus and calcium in abalone is very good for bone health. Both works in tandem to help improve bone density and keeps our bones healthy.
8) Weight management
The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of abalone help to maintain metabolic equilibrium, preventing fat accumulation. Due to its ability to support different metabolic functions of the body, it has been used in most detox diets (Evans, 2019).
9) Benefits eye health
Abalone supports eye health in many ways. It contains omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, vitamin C, vitamin A and B-complex vitamins such as vitamin riboflavin (vitamin B2), niacin (vitamin B3), vitamins B6, and B12. All these are beneficial for eye health (Nutrinz, 2019).
10) Enhances sexual energy and vitality
Abalone has been used as an aphrodisiac to boost sexual performance since ancient times (Nutrinz, 2020).
